There are guards outside Rahaf’s hotel room. It’s 6.20am in Thailand. She’s been threatened to be put on the 11.15 am @KuwaitAirways flight. She’s been denied access to a lawyer. She wants to speak to @UNHCRThailand and claim asylum #SaveRahaf
So the 11.15am @KuwaitAirways flight has left - Rahaf is safe and still at BKK. But the Thai government is reportedly blocking @UNHCRThailand from coming to speak with her? Why? #SaveRahaf 
Its nearly 3pm in Bangkok. @UNHCRThailand officials have still not been given access to Rahaf @Reaproy says an injunction has been filed by Thai lawyers to stop a deportation. Concern is once attention wanes another attempt will be made to force her on @KuwaitAirways #SaveRahaf
Thai immigration has told Rahaf @UNHCRThailand is on the way. But they also told her it’s not possible to claim asylum here. Rahaf made her claim for asylum loud and clear to officers
UN officials reportedly on their way, in the building.
UN has arrived. They are interviewing Rahaf. They gave their word that she would remain in their custody & that she is now safe. This is what they promised @UNHCRThailand @Reaproy @melissarfleming
Giuseppe De Vincentiis @UNHCRThailand country rep just told us #Thailand has assured him Rahaf would NOT be deported. But he directly contradicted what his officials promised me earlier. Now he is saying she will be in Thai police custody.. World is watching #Thailand @refugees
We’ve now been advised by Thai immigration that she has been squirrelled out of the airport to “somewhere safe”
This is super confusing by CNN & has panicked a lot of people. They weren’t there when @UNHCRThailand spoke & when the top police official all promised otherwise. Let’s hope this is incorrect
My local colleagues tell me this is not unusual to get two different stories from officials in #Thailand Hard to know who to trust. But @UNHCRThailand looked me in the eye & promised she would be safe now & then I was made to leave Rahaf’s room @refugees @melissarfleming @Reaproy
And look!
